Shucks. Took me only about a half hour of the free trial to succumb. Great sounds.

Tangled roots perplex her ways.

Yep. I started with the trial, but I made it 7 days and even recorded a cover song that I shared during that time, because I was so blown away at how good it was and the incredible deal…Read More

Speculation mode on – I don’t think there is AI involved in the MIDI output created by UJAM or EZ Keyboard stuff.  I think they are algorithmic (i.e. old fashioned computer code) because the output is precisely repeatable based on the input.  In both programs, if you mash the same keys and pick the same settings, you get the same generated part.

I own Beam version 1.  Af…Read More

@bluescat – great to hear!  I will try to pass along good experiences like yours too so the team doesn’t feel like I’m only giving them third-party lectures 🙂

I am glad you didn’t have to use the Peter II batsignal but I am definitely here if anybody needs to summon me.  Just say “Peter II” three times.  Sounds kind of like Beetlejuice, ri…Read More

I like Cameron. We’ve had a few friendly emails. But he charges A LOT to do videos or “reviews.” Several years ago brands were paying $15k-$20k to get him to “review” their product. SPOILER ALERT: Actual reviewers are journalists that don’t do promotional videos for the brands whose products they review, accept free product, gifts or money,…Read More
